Every planning application in England now needs a 10% Biodiversity Net Gain. GainPlan automates the calculation, planning, and evidence trail — so you spend less time on ecology paperwork and more time building.
Join the WaitlistUK developers are spending £5k–£25k per site on ecology consultants, waiting weeks for reports, and still getting rejected by LPAs.
Ecology surveys take 4-8 weeks. Metric calculations are manual. LPA feedback loops add more weeks. Your build timeline slips.
Ecology consultants, biodiversity unit purchases, legal fees for conservation covenants. Costs stack up across every project.
